Andy Murray won his first match in nine months 7-6 (6), 6-3, 6-1 over Frances Tiafoe at the Western & Southern Open on Saturday.

Murray’s first match in nine months as he resumes his climb back from two hip operations came at the first ATP tournament for anyone in five months, a 7-6 , 6-3, 6-1 victory over Frances Tiafoe at the Western & Southern Open on Saturday.

The men’s tennis tour had been suspended since March because of the coronavirus pandemic; the resumption came at a hard-court event moved from its home in Ohio to the site of the U.S. Open, which begins Aug. 31. "To have no sound during the whole match, it was really odd," said Auger-Aliassime, the first winner of an ATP match since March, 6-4, 6-1 against Nikoloz Basilashvili. "Obviously, we’re used to it in practice, but now it’s an important match, it’s a Masters 1000, and to have nobody, to have no crowd, it feels weird."

Murray had surgery on his hip in January 2018, and again in January 2019, and while returned to action later last year, a pelvic problem prevented him from playing at the start of 2020.
